Looking back at 2020
Release year is recorded for about half of the games in the open data. It is useful for finding games from a particular era, but it is not a quality signal.
Compare the headline RTP with the lowest published version: studios releasing a game often publish a range, and operators choose from it.
RTP of released in 2020
The highest headline RTPs among released in 2020 are Zeus Lightning Power Reels by Red Tiger (97.73%), Fruit Million by BGaming (97.34%) and Fruit Million Easter by BGaming (97.34%). The average headline RTP across all 137 is 96.31%, and the lowest is 92.01% on Rally 4 Riches.
41 of them (30%) are published in more than one RTP version, so the return depends on the version an operator runs. The widest gap is on Fortunes of Ali Baba: from 96.89% down to 84.29%.
Volatility and max win
Volatility is published for 86 of the 137 games: 5 low, 19 medium, 34 high and 28 very high.
The largest published max wins are 48,000× on Drago - Jewels of Fortune, 20,000× on Return of the Dead and 20,000× on Book of Kingdoms. The median max win of the 38 games that publish one is 3,691×. A max win is a rare ceiling, not a result to expect.
Studios, years and free demos
6 studios make the games in this list. The most represented are Pragmatic Play with 42 (average RTP 96.53%), Play'n GO with 41 (average RTP 96.2%) and BGaming with 16 (average RTP 96.68%).
Release years run from 2020 to 2020; the newest are Zeus Lightning Power Reels (2020), Fruit Million (2020) and Fruit Million Easter (2020).
128 of the 137 (93%) have a free official demo that runs on their page with no sign-up.
